Uzbekistan Telecommunications and Broadband Reports

Uzbekistan Telecoms Market Overview and Statistics Report
Uzbekistan has been struggling to bring its telecom system up to the standard found in developed countries. Although steadily improving, the telecommunications infrastructure remains outmoded and inadequate. However, since 2002 the situation has been gradually improving, due largely to the government’s decision to prioritise ICTs. Consequently there has been an upward trend in the country’s telecom market over recent years, with rising revenues and increased investment in infrastructure. Government strategic policy is to privatise the incumbent operator Uzbektelecom and to open the market to competition in accordance with the country’s aim to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). This report looks at Uzbekistan’s overall telecom market and includes a selection of pertinent market statistics.

Broadband, ICT and Consumer E-Commerce in Uzbekistan

September 2006 Review


In 2004, just 50% of Uzbekistan’s secondary schools could access a computer - including outdated, Soviet era models - while only 18% had access to modern personal computers (PCs). So it is in many parts of Asia and the Pacific, where a lack of equipment and the capacity to apply and maintain it within school systems sustains the digital divide now at the forefront of development discussions, article of Eric Van Zant said, which was published at the ADB’s official web site.

Yet Uzbekistan and most of its Asian neighbors also have a clear desire to tap the power of information and communication technology (ICT) to improve education and provide students with the skills they will need to compete later in life. Many have anchored the adoption of ICT into their education development strategies.

In its latest Education Sector Report, ADB (Asia Development Bank) recommends more emphasis on more responsive investment in ICT, and in science and technology. ADB is working to foster an environment that encourages its developing member countries (DMCs) to take up the latest technology in a way that will be financially sustainable, encourage still further innovation, and expand use of ICT into poorer, more remote areas. Education systems in the region can be radically improved through intelligent use of innovative ICT, appropriate training for teachers and sector managers, and support to centers that nurture new ideas.

A new US$30 million loan to Uzbekistan - approved in 2005, and the first ADB loan devoted entirely to integrating ICT into basic education - underscores this point well. The loan advances ADB's efforts at improving the application of ICT - which in the past have suffered from a lack of capacity within many school systems for handling computer technology - by putting special emphasis on training teachers and other staff to use ICT for learning, and encouraging the establishment of learning centers.

Among its four components, the Uzbekistan project will equip 860 "cluster leader" schools with ICT facilities and internet/intranet connections, which will serve as centers for spreading the knowledge to clusters of other schools in poor, rural, and remote areas. These cluster leader schools will provide an efficient system not only for the delivery to all schools of e-learning materials and information, but also for education development activities within each cluster.
